The LAN Link Configuration screen (#82) in Figure 3-3 “LAN Link Configuration Screen” is displayed when you select a link name
of type LAN at the Link Selection screen (Figure 3-2 “Link Selection Screen”) and press the [Add]
or [Modify] function key. It is also displayed
when you type the path name:
@LINK.linkname
in the command window of any screen and press the [Enter]
key, where linkname is the name of a configured
LAN link.

by checking that the Data flag is set to Y.
Fields
- Physical path of device adapter
The physical path number corresponds to the slot
location of the node's local area network interface controller
(LANIC) card. For HP 3000 systems, the path is derived by a basic
formula of 4 x slot number. (Example: 4 x 10
= 40, where the LANIC card is installed in slot number 10 and the
physical path of the card is 40.)
For some HP systems, you must specify a channel number (ccc)
and subchannel number (sss) in
the form ccc.sss while others require a bus converter number followed
by a slash (/) and then a channel
number (ccc) and subchannel number
(sss) in the form b/ccc.sss.
If you are unsure of the slot location or of the physical
path number to configure for your system, see your system documentation
or consult your Hewlett-Packard service representative.
- Use factory- configured local station address?
(HP modifiable.) The LANIC
board is supplied with a 48-bit station address. These are guaranteed
to be unique. Do not change the factory configured local node address
except on the specific instructions of your Hewlett-Packard representative.
Default value: Y
- Local station address
(modifiable.) This field
is to be used only with specific instructions from your Hewlett-Packard
representative. It allows you to enter a station address to replace
the factory configured address. The format must be compatible with
HP software requirements. Your Hewlett-Packard representative will
supply instructions in the unlikely event that you need to enter
an address to replace the default.
